I saw this and had to share...

Wait for it to load. It's kind of long but worth the wait I think. Try the 3 card spread to get a feeling for the cards... :thumbsup:

Funny funny commentary on the cards.

I have seen that deck posted in the forum here before, but I did forget the secret recipes on the site :) If I ever have money to splurge that would be a deck I would get :)

OMG that is too hilarious! I love the imagery of the cards - heheh Aunt Jemima syrup as the high priestess, spoiled mayonnaise for death... it makes the domesticated housewife in me soo happy :rotfl:

It is a really great little deck.

My one warning about it is that the card stock is rather flimsy, so you want to be careful when shuffling & such. But, I highly recommend it, I've loved using it (even though I don't very often). :)

I love the deck, bought one right around when it was released a couple of years ago.

Despite the cartoony seeming imagery, it's got a lot of depth. The readings are not as fluffy as well-beaten egg whites!

I love that the Devil is Chocolate Cake and Death is a jar of spoiled mayo.

Very cleverly designed!!

I have this deck and it's a very light-hearted, kitchsy deck!

I really love the old-fashioned recipe style box and dividers it comes in. Reminds me of my grandma's old box!

I haven't taken this deck out in years, thanks for the reminder! It always makes me smile. I've never read with it though, I never felt the desire and "pull" too.

I do know some who love to read with it though and do great with it!

Hilarious.
Strangely, when I did the 3-card-draw about my career online, it was spot-on!
Only thing similar I've seen is the "Rider-Waite Tarot Cookbook" - I wil try to find a link.
It features things like the Hanged Man's Upside-down cake. The Magician has a pinnie on & holds a whisk!
Found it ! It's the Epicurean Tarot -
